Nice & modern inside, the sports bar had a lovely lady serving us in there Sunday evening. She went the extra mile for us, ensuring we had water for the room and treated our two daughters to a chocolate bar each !!!
Breakfast was lovely, thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, especially as we had stayed the night before in a different hotel not too far away and hated it there.
The swimming pool was clean, warm and had a jacuzzi, which the water was lovely & heated but had hardly any bubbles ! thwy also have a sauna and steam room, cannot comment as did not use them.
Would i stay again, most definitely.

Very nice hotel and attentive staff. The only con i have is that we've paid for a double room and only when we got to the room realised we have a twin. Apart from that, great location close to shopping centre, restaurants and cinema

Hotel in itself is lovely staff are always nice. There was a big wedding on so place was fairly busy which we didn't mind.
Drinks are overpriced 4.00 for a hot chocolate 4.90 for a beer. We didn't spend a lot of time in hotel.
Never tried the food the prices put us off. Not a cheapskate but £11pp for breakfast and £14 for a burger is excessive
Rooms are lovely
Showers were quite cold
Beds are very comfortable

Having stayed in many hotels for business & pleasure I was disappointed by this so called 'privilege room' We booked this to attend a friends wedding just up the road so in terms of location this was ideal however there were are number of downsides that we felt did not support the extra money or the title paid for this room key issues were
- bathroom very dated, no non slip mat, poor toilet flush
- bed very hard, big gap round main door so light from main hallway shone into the room all night
- the coffee machine didn't work & the hairdryer was located right next to the tea & coffee making facilities as opposed to the desk/dressing table area
- the room was only prepared for one person despite booking for two
- we were not told about breakfast times or other facilities in hotel, which apparently had a pool etc
On a plus side the waitress in the lounge was very nice.
To be honest this was a basic hotel room that did not warrant the title of 'suite' or 'privilege' room

Pleasant hotel and overall a good stay. Check in very good and room adequate. Breakfast was good with a decent selection. Was only a brief visit but certainly nothing to complain about, happy to recommend for a business trip not sure about leisure.

The location was excellent for Salford and Manchester; 30 - 40 minutes.
The staff were excellent and really helpful.
The food was okay; sandwiches as I arrived well after 21:00hrs.
The room was clean and tidy.
When you see the pictures you'll see why, in my opinion, it needs a little TLC.
I would stay here again.

As a regular visitor I am always made to feel welcome and the staff are great. Some rooms are better than others and many are in need of a bit of tlc, although cleanliness is always first class. Standard and specials menus provide a decent choice of meals. No aircon in rooms so can get a bit warm on a hot day. If you are feeling energetic you can make use of the gym and pool.

Recently stayed at this hotel for a night and found it very comfortable. The room was large and newly refurbished and the food was excellent. At our wedding the staff were very friendly and polite, including Joe and Caitlin who couldn't do enough to help the guests, making the day even more special. They made everything run very smoothly from what we could see and were very organised and professional. Visited the gym as well which was good and the bars were clean. Would recommend for a wedding.

My wife and I have just returned from a two night stay at this hotel....the receptionist who checked us in was very pleasant and thorough and gave us directions to our room which was lovely and big with a seating area aswell as a huge bed! Everywhere was very clean....we had a bite to eat in the bar and the food was really good too.
Breakfast was plentiful with a good choice...we also had a couple of treatments at Natural Balance (which is based within the hotel) which were excellent.
Will certainly be staying again in the future :0)

We attended a family wedding at this hotel and because we had a long distance to travel home and we wanted to have a drink or two we decided to book a room for the night. The room was clean as expected and free wifi available in all areas of the hotel. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and along with the blackout curtains this helped us have very good nights sleep. Complementary tea and coffee were provided but sadly no biscuits! The bar prices were a little to extravagant for my liking c£10 for a G&T and lager but apart from that we would still happily stay over again if necessary. Oh and to end on a plus point the full breakfast was very very good.

The room was okish and in keeping with the aged property (creaky floorboards etc)
However the bath was impossible to fill as it had air gaps in the plumbing or something causing the water to splutter everywhere (this did not settle down)
Eventually we managed to fill the cramped aged yellowing bath to a suitable level/temp.
The bed was uncomfortable, it was lumpy with nasty hard pillows.
I'm yet to taste breakfast but am not hopeful of owt decent.

We stayed for one night as we were attending a family funeral the following day. We stayed in room 214. The room was a decent size but was definitely in need of a refresh. The sink in the bathroom has a big crack in it; the shower is ancient and lacks pressure; above the shower there are dots of black mould on the ceiling. The furniture in the room shows obvious signs of wear and tear!
Breakfast was adequate but limited. The fresh fruit available for us was just melon chunks. Croissants were on the menu but absent when we ate. We could have requested them but it was a sad day for us and to be honest they should know how many people they are catering for and have supplies available!
The bar area could be so pleasant but some chairs are badly stained and greasy and when you are paying £80 a night, it's just not good enough!
Having said all that, the staff were very polite and accommodating. The hotel has such potential because of its location and I hope things will improve.

I stayed here whilst on business trip to Bolton.
I had concerns after reading other reviews but was pleasantly surprised . The room was clean, pleasant & comfortable and it made a change to have a decent size bathroom. Nice to have a leisure club, though I didn't have time to use it.
However there isn't any a/c in the rooms & I stayed on one of the hottest days we've had. The window didn't open very far, and the hotels set back off a busy road, so it was noisy. But I'm sure this will get sorted.
Didn't eat dinner, but breakfast was good & I had a great omelette.

First impressions were not good. The Lancashire rain was pelting down in a summer downpour and the path from the car park to reception was almost totally blocked by the wedding DJ's transit van. Stepping through the perfect puddle alongside the van made for a grand entrance.
Reception staff were very quiet but efficient. I'd booked a privilege room which made for a good bed, extra space, and a coffee pod machine. All good and clean.
At least one wedding reception was in progress so it didn't bode well for a peaceful stay. The torrential rain accompanied high temperatures and made for a muggy night. No aircon meant a sweatlodge atmosphere in the room and opening the windows from desperation brought the wedding into the room. The restaurant was also aircon free. Breakfast was good and the lack of aircon meant nothing was cold.
Checkout time revealed that the DJ had probably stayed over and whatever he had shifted it had obviously not been his van.
Did he play hot summer nights, I wonder?

Long time since I've stayed here but every bit as good as the last time.
A warm welcome at reception, swiftly booked in and allocated a top floor room.
Room was spacious and decorated to a high standard with all of the usual facilities you would expect from a corporate hotel group.
Bar is well stocked & it's open plan design off reception is welcoming.
Breakfasts are excellent with fresh fruit, a great range of fresh bad hot foods plus a cold range too all presented self service buffet style.
Leisure club I finally found time to use it and from the moment you walk in you realise this is of a high quality. The pool was one of the warmest indoor hotel pools that I've experienced. Just four other people enjoying the facilities which made it all the more relaxing. On top of the pool there is a jacuzzi and a steam room. It seems the club has two saunas, both sited within the changing rooms. Not huge but more than spacious enough.
Ample car parking at the rear of the hotel. All in all a great hotel and equal to anywhere else in the area.

I arrived very late and hungry and all was quiet in the hotel - nonetheless, the staff helped me to order food from a nearby supplier and served me from the bar. All staff were so helpful and friendly and I will definitely look to stay here again if work commitments take me within reach.

Stayed here a few years ago and was at a meeting so convenient to do again. The room was great, and probably had the best nights sleep in a hotel in a long while, the bed was really comfy. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. Breakfast was good. Some of the building is a little tired or out dated but overall the value for money.

We recently stayed here on an overnight stay on our way to Scotland and we were pleasantly surprised. We were on a coach trip and have in the past stayed in some very disappointing over night hotels. This is a lovely building and the room was very comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome even though we were only there for 1 night and they had a wedding reception in the hotel. The dinner was very well cooked and three good choices for each course. Our only suggestions is that they put the milk on the table before they served coffee. We were the first to be served coffee and it was luke warm before the milk arrived. That is an easy thing to put right. The breakfast was one of the best we have had in our many stays around the country in different hotels and guest houses. A good choice, well cooked and very tasty. If we were in the area again on our own we would certainly stay there again.

The hotel was brilliant and the staff excellent - this made our stay very pleasant and I would recommend anyone visiting Bolton (Manchester) to check out this hotel. All the main attractions are within 20 - 30 minuets away.

Would've been 4-star had it not been for the saga of the toilet (room 895); in a 4-night stay, I had to raise the problem 3 times and when, eventually, something was done, it led to a different fault!! The communication between the hotel and us as customers left a lot to be desired. On the plus side, room and hotel very clean, friendly staff. A special mention for the kitchen and wait-staff; very good indeed. Breakfasts and evening meals were hot, tasty and substantial. Other minor gripes, but, overall, enjoyable. We would return if in the area.......................but I'd want to check the toilet if offered 895!

Not the usual standard from a Accor hotel. Due to a wedding happing in the hotel or room was not ready, but the receptionist have us no indication how long this might take and told us to wait in the bar. No apology. When we did check we were given the key but no info on leisure facilities or breakfast times or location. The rooms are a bit dated and worn in places but clean, very hot with no air con. When we went to the pool we seemed to be a inconvenience for the attendant. I had ask if he has towels and when asking if the jacuzzi worked he replied not really your better making the bubbles yourself. We found most of the staff uninterested in giving good customer service.

My wife and I arrived from the U.S. on the evening of May 28th to find that the hotel did not have our reservation. I showed them my reservation confirmation and the lady behind the counter told us we were the 4th one that day from Booking.com that was not in their system. I guess I cannot blame the hotel for this. The thing that was odd was that the lady behind the desk said they were full, yet they had a a room for us. We had booked two nights in a privileged King and we ended-up in a very small double with a radiator that would not turn-off and a shower that you had to run around in to get wet. Our complaints fell on deaf ears. At least they had free wif-fi, which I used to pass the time in our hot room - hard to slepp even with the window open. Next day we were moved to a Privileged King and it was like night and day - so much bigger and had a shower that worked - nice room! One plus was that they had free wi-fi in all rooms.
They have a really nice bar/restaurant with really great attentive staff, good drinks selection, and a nice selection of well priced meals. The hotel is in a great, quite location, yet close to the Motorway, so very convenient.
I give the hotel a 3 and the bar/restaurant a 5 - so overall a 4.
